I played only the demo of EU4, and I'm wondering how the real time aspect works in the full game, in a multiplayer game.

Is it a fixed speed, set on the beginning?
Or is it adapting to what players want on the fly (for example going at the lowest speed requested, like Imperium Galactica 2)?

    I've wondered about this too. The "pausable real time" and multiplayer are both such touted features, but nobody talks about how they could possibly work together.

  • I played this once a few years back with a group of about 8 people. I think the host decided on the speed of the game and could change it upon request (there's VCR style buttons on the hosts screen). However, it has been so long I don't trust that as a full answer.

  • @UnderscoreZero - EU4 is the new one, freshly released this year

Ok, I've bought the game finally, so I can answer the question myself.

From what I observed, time speed can be changed by the host, but also the players. It then changes it for everyone (note that I tried this only with 2 human players).

Anyone can pause the game. Other players can't unpause the game for the next 30 seconds.
